President Joe Biden arrived in Chicago on Monday to solidify the Democratic Party's endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris as its leader against Republican candidate Donald Trump.

While Democrats gathered for their national convention, thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters marched nearby to urge delegates to end military support for Israel's Gaza offensive. A splinter group breached a security perimeter, prompting police intervention.

Biden's appearance marks a symbolic passing of the torch to Harris amid concerns about his age. Harris will accept the nomination Thursday and could become the first female U.S. president if elected on November 5.
